Celestial Ceilings, Animal Crossing Bags, & Hilarious Quagmires Of Quaginess

Hiya.

How's your weekend going?

Last week I celebrated finishing my puppet room post by making myself an EXCELLENT brownie sundae, but foolishly didn't check the ingredients on the toppings, and ended up making myself sick for 2-3 days. (Whoops.) (Curse you, high fructose corn syruuuuup!! ::shaking fist at sky and also the jar of maraschino cherries::)

So yeah, my week just flew by, until this afternoon when I was like OH HEY IT'S SATURDAY maybe I should post something.

Fortunately I do plenty of scrolling when I'm laid up on the couch snuggling a hot pack, so I have goodies to share.

This is Albertine Bookstore in NYC:

(via Victorian House on FB, which posts SO MUCH architectural eye candy)

I want to go to there.

Wait, let me rephrase that. I want my house to look like that. 'Cuz leaving the house is overrated.

You ever see something that makes you cringe away in horror, then do a double take, then laugh with delight?

How 'bout now?   

(Someone in the comments wrote "Chomping at the bit" and I am STILL slow-clapping. Bravo, commenter. Bravo.)

I recently discovered the gentlest, sweetest comic that's like a warm hug delivered through your eyeballs:

STOP IT'S SO CUTE AHHHH

They're all this sweet, too. Prepare to fall down the cozy rabbit hole over at Buddy Gator's Instagram.

Brace yourself, because NOT ONLY did Shasta of @SciFiCheerGirl make her very own "Lady Buster" renaissance styled GHOSTBUSTERS gown(!!):

... she ALSO made outfits for her "Slimer Lordling" and Little Lady Buster!

  "Prithee, I have no trepidation of specters."

YASSSSS.

Head over to Shasta's original Instagram post to see the full group shot, including her hubby's Stay Puft ensemble! Also be sure to follow her for lots more awesome cosplay and costuming.

Also on Instagram, Oyasu Miki hand makes the most incredible Animal Crossing bags, and I'm kinda obsessed:



Look at Pietro!! Miki pieces together colorful vinyl to make the bags perfect 3D renderings, which is completely breaking my brain. HOW.

The back is as pretty as the front, wowza.

One more, here's Étoile:

Check out Miki's account to see so many more, and then weep with me that we can't have them all. Hnnnng.

You've probably seen this, but juuuust in case you haven't:

Filing this away for future gift ideas because it would be the funniest subtle troll ever.

And finally, I'll leave you with another hilarious quagmire to become... mired... in. 

::reads back over that sentence.::

:: Nods decisively::

Yeah.

I'm a TikTok lurker, and Morgan Presley's fashion vids have consistently made me almost wake up John with my barely-restrained guffaws:

I've watched a few of her Vogue recreations over and over, and I swear they get funnier every time.  Here's one of my all-time favorites:

That little wave, omigosh. DED.

The good news is you don't need TikTok to follow Morgan; she also posts everything on Instagram! So go forth and scroll down 'til you see the Panty Swiffer, because oh my gosh. It is spit-take funny.

I hope these brought a little smile to your Saturday!
